Castalum are working on a, process leading, development to make our already very good process even more consistent. The R&D involved will enable a finalized development that will benefit our customer offers. Watch this space!

Castalum attended the annual dinner of the Cast Metals Federation understanding that they had been nominated as one of the finalists for Company of the Year. Our application featured the path to achieve required output expansion through new equipment; new peopleand training and succession management for the future at all levels. The application also noted technical developments to improve quality and uptime. The application was sufficiently compelling to justify success and make Castalum the winner of the very handsome industry leader trophy

The continued investment by Castalum in new diecasting equipment has meant that our diecasting base remains, probably, the youngest in Europe. Castalum has invested in the order of £23 million since the MBO in 2009

The new DCM ordered in July 2015 is now fully integrated into our production capacity, operating on a 6 x 24 hr basis. The technology of this new DCM is advanced by up-graded ladling systems and by spray head controls. Further the water and lubrication flow per shot is closely controlled and monitored as an integrated production parameter

Castalum have invested in new shotblasting equipement that operates in a smaller production footprint, used less energy and less shotblasting medium. This equipment, operating 24 x6, was purchased to improve our capacity and waste usage equation
